Amazon CloudFront Now Supports Streaming Access Logs

You can now enable logging for an Amazon CloudFront Streaming distribution (see my recent post for more information about CloudFront Streaming). Once enabled for a particular distribution, CloudFront logs all accesses to a designated Amazon S3 bucket.The information in the log files will let you know which of your streaming media files are the most popular and will also let you see which CloudFront Edge Location was used to stream the information. This builds off of the HTTP access log support that I described in a previous blog post.

The Amazon CloudFront team is looking for some awesome software developers. If you have experience building highly available distributed systems, a passion for defining and growing a business, excellent communication skills, knowledge of networking protocols such as HTTP, DNS, TCP, BGP, and RTMP, and are proficient in C, C++, Java, or Perl, check out the open CloudFront positions today.
